During the stop, the trooper noted that Myers appeared drowsy and observed drug paraphernalia in the center console of the car. A further search of Myers’ pocket uncovered several waxed bags suspected to contain heroin, police said.

Myers was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 and released on an unsecured bond totaling $7,875.

Police say the investigation is closed with the arrest and charges filed against Myers.
